April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

jive talkin was pre disco..

 

Jive Talkin was ok....I loved the guitar part at the beginning....he just tapped on it without producing any sound-musical sound, that is.

 

Well, I always loved sports, since I was a kid. I did go to some horse-racing events, like the Preakness(I lived in DC for during the early to mid 80's). Won big on the first race I bet on, never won nearly as much since. Fun to be in the crowd, though.

 

Well, you've been patient so HERE IS MAY!!

Again, thanks for a great April!

 

I was on the Maggard site just browsing and saw the T3 brush. I have read reviews that the Simpson name was wearing off on the T1 or T2 so I backed off. I have enough brushes. Lol! Anyway, the T3 looks like a soap destroyer Jim. Congrats!

 

very cool.never been to the races but watched on the tv.my mom had an uncle who was involved,but long passed ,never met him..i am sure you were big into baseball..

 

You probably didn't like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

 

No, Ike and Tina Turner did a cover version.

 

i love my simpson commodore and special.,but they are small .but under $100.i love the bigger ones but have a hard time justifying the cost.for $250 it must do some amazing stuff..it's almost status symbol like..

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

The Simpson Trafalgar T3 is 28.50 at Maggards. Not sure how much status that gets me, nor do I care.

 

You and I are on the same page. My most expensive brush is the C-Mon Heritage and that was under $90. My avg cost was approx 35 dollars per brush so that is reasonable for me. I can't see spending money on luxury brushes for hundreds of dollars even if I could afford to do so. Same thing goes for safeties. Straight razors are a different story because that's my priority, but out of the 13 straights, only 3 of them that I purchased went over the $100 mark and under $150. So, I have been frugal with my spending. Now, the money that I will be getting under the CARES act will give me some serious play money that would allow me to purchase a custom straight razor or a prized Novador. Am I going to do that? Maybe, maybe not. Bottom line: we spend our discretionary income on what we desire. It's all good.

 

that's cool.i was speaking of their old school line in general..do you find the higher dollar simpsons to be better brushes to your cool replica brushes?,or a brad sears,kent or thaters..

 

I agree it's a nice deal.

 

i agree..most definitely.i am asking an expert who buys 300 dollar brushes ..are they worth it functionally...

 

i can drop a grand and buy a toggle if i want to..but is it better than a fatboy hell no.is a 300 dollar simpson better than a 150 dollar one..come on experts..

 

I don't own a Brad Sears, Kent or Thater so I can't comment. If your asking about my Simpson CH2 synthetic it is definitely a unique synthetic fiber in comparison to my other synthetic brushes. Better? That's subjective. All my brushes will create a lather.
Right now I'm enjoying all the variety I can fit on my shelves.

 

very cool.fair enough.i am in the market for a 24mm higher end shave brush just for those special shaves with the 'crats and stuff.a traditional simpson would fit that scenario.

 

Thanks Jeff! I can see why. It gets the job done in a hurry and feels refreshing.

 

Si senor.

Veddy nice!!
